Pink Floyd's best instrumental compositions

In addition to monumental songs filled with poetic splendour that take your breath away, Pink Floyd definitely boast their haunting but no less thrilling instrumental progressive rock compositions. Sometimes people definitely need a little break from the heavy-handed, sometimes absurd lyrics that, despite being an integral part of their music, leave, at times, a sombre and aftertaste.

In Russian rock, lyrics are an integral part of the genre, without which the concept itself would not exist. The "instrumentals" of Russian rock musicians can be counted on one's fingers, and even then, these melodies are more like failed experiments. Pink Floyd is also largely appreciated for their lyrics since the days of Syd Barrett. But the band-legend has melodies without words, striking with their depth, causing a storm of emotions. In these compositions words would be superfluous. This is the quintessence of philosophy in its purest form, a stream of consciousness consisting of notes.

A playlist of brilliant Pink Floyd instrumental tracks...

Obscured By Clouds (1972)

The title track of Pink Floyd's 1972 soundtrack album "Obscured by Clouds" is one of the greatest instrumental compositions of all time. It's essentially an experiment, using then-new analogue synthesizers and recording techniques. Once listened to, it can stay in your head for days.

Any Colour You Like (1973)

Album The Dark Side of the Moon - one of the wonders of the world. And this track can really put you in a trance.

Terminal Frost (1987)

The complex combination of guitars, piano and saxophone suggests that this composition was written by an alien from outer space.

Marooned (1992)

This track is perhaps the Olympus of creativity and creativity. An inexhaustible source of inspiration.

It's What We Do (2014)

This track is from Pink Floyd's farewell record. The Endless River Maybe not the best on the album, but the intro is mesmerising.....
